It's time to whip out those credit cards. Sephora's annual Beauty Insider Sale is here, and that's a fact that leaves beauty lovers and frequent Sephora shoppers shook. To participate in the massive savings, you need to be a member of the Sephora Beauty Insider loyalty program. The free program has three statuses: VIB Rouge, VIB, and Insider. You graduate to higher levels based on how much you spend through the year. Of course, benefits increase with each tier of membership.

The Beauty Insider Sale runs from Friday, Nov. 10 through Wednesday, Nov. 15. During that period, VIB Rouge members will enjoy a 20 percent discount, both in stores and online, using the 20FORROUGE code. Those holding VIB status also get 20 percent off with the 20FORVIB code. Insiders will receive a 15 percent off discount, using the INSIDER15 code.

Shoppers can use the codes as often as they wish throughout the five day period. We'll pause to let that one sink in. With the holiday shopping season approaching and beauty brands dropping brand new collections, these discounts arrive at the perfect time.

If you are a member of the Beauty Insider program, you are going to need a game plan in order to shop the sale effectively. Below are 10 items you should consider purchasing.
